Blue Dart To Hike Shipment Prices By Up To 12% From January

03 Oct 2025 CW Team

Logistics company Blue Dart Express Limited announced on Monday (29 September) that it will implement a General Price Increase (GPI) effective 1 January 2026, with shipment prices set to rise by an average of 9 to 12 per cent. The hike will vary depending on product factors and individual customer shipping profiles.

The company said the annual review of its pricing structure was necessary to maintain service excellence and strengthen collaboration across its network. The revision aims to preserve Blue Dart’s standards of speed, reliability and customer-focused solutions while offsetting inflationary pressures, rising airline costs and global supply chain complexities.

To encourage business growth, Blue Dart confirmed that new customers signing up between 1 October and 31 December 2025 will be exempt from the price increase.

Commenting on the decision, Balfour Manuel, Managing Director of Blue Dart Express, said: “The General Price Increase enables us to continue investing in advanced technology, greener logistics and network expansion. We will exempt all customers onboarded between October and December 2025, reaffirming our promise to support businesses as they scale with us.”

The announcement follows recent GST cuts that have lowered freight tax to 5 per cent, reduced GST on trucks and buses from 28 to 18 per cent, and cut third-party insurance on goods carriers from 12 to 5 per cent. These changes are expected to reduce operating costs for logistics firms, ease fleet expansion and simplify compliance.

Shares of Blue Dart Express closed at Rs 5,575.15 on the BSE, down Rs 100.45 or 1.77 per cent.
